Author Notes:

Decided to go with Alice's flashback hairstyle 'cause I kinda like it better. But feel free to protest if you preferred the twintails. I welcome feedback. No seriously, please, give me feedback on this comic. Anything. It can be rude! Or about something little like a character's hairstyle! I'm just stressed out because I work really hard on this and struggle to get any feedback and I don't know what to do about it. Am I marketing this comic poorly or does it just suck? It's been five years now and I'm not sure how worth the hours this is any more. I love it, I love the characters and the story and drawing in general, but damn if this isn't frustrating. Don't misread that as me not loving you guys for reading ashes but please . . . please talk to me. I'm lonely.
